As they did with the transportation/maintenance building, and technology levy (years ago), the district will/can do it anyway. The 2 levies I mentioned were DENIED by voters, but miraculously happened anyhow.

So.....more reasons and excuses of the young people of Walla Walla to head out of town for their needs, while encouraging more alcoholic intake. It is no wonder the teenagers in our town have so much trouble finding work...the wineries and tasting rooms require a minimum age of 21, what are the 16 year olds supposed to do? Ugh. Don't get me wrong I will not miss this particular store one little bit, I do however feel saddened by the loss of a place for something other than wine.

I wish Codi the best of luck, but it seems as if he got off pretty easy. They dropped the charges of DV, unlawful imprisonment, hindering a person trying to call 911. I just wish he could move on, and then keep going until he hits another state.

This makes me ill. With all of the bad things going on in town, it pains me that the city wasted valuable time and money on this. It could have and should have been handeled very differently by ALL involved. Permission PRIOR to the painting, some thought into what is really important, many many things could have been different.

Maybe if the school district would have taken care of this beautiful school, it wouldn't be in this shape. If my children drive a car, yet dont take care of it, I surely wont buy them a new one. If they didn't have the sense to take care of the needs of the school when they arose, allowing it to be in such disrepair, why should we trust them with a new one? Kind of like Memorial pool...."Maybe if we let it bad enough it can't be repaired, the community will buy a new one." I am sick of this mentality. This kind of thinking is why young people today have no self respect or respect for other's property. They learn by what they see, and what they are seeing is SAD.
